First Principles

If you don’t have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from.

– Barack Obama, 2008 Democratic Presidential nomination acceptance speech.

I couldn’t agree more, Senator.  And it explains why you and your surrogates have spent the last months absurdly claiming that John McCain is no different than Bush, who has created all the Hoovervilles we see all in every city park the dustbowl that has descended upon the midwest, 1930’s style unemployment and the New Great Depression, and has a gleeful finger on a hair trigger that will spark a War to End All Wars.

I’m very much looking forward to the debates.  Obama is bluffing with a pair of fours, and doesn’t yet realize that the old guy across the table knows it.
